Super 8 Page #5
If not, Woodward will tell us where he is.
What the hell is that?
Joe.
- Hey Mr. Lamb.
Get in the car.
Ahm, Mr. Lamb that's your camera but
technically that's my film.
What the hell.
Is it me?
I would like to help you out deputy, I really would
but we operate on a need to know basis.
Why are your trucks sweeping the town?
We will be out of here by shortly.
Then I'm sure you won't mind me contacting D.C.,
talk to some friends
about "walking distance".
I will do it that way.
Deputy.
Let's talk.
Just not here.
This is new for the both of us.
Dealing with anything.
Just us.
So I'm going to make this
as simple and clear as I can.
You are not friends with Alice Dainard.
When I say 'no', I don't mean maybe.
I don't mean 'yes'.
I mean 'no'.
I've known Louis Dainard
for a lot of years.
He's been nothing but trouble.
Your mother used to say
he's not such a bad guy.
He just need a chance, that he was sad.
Well, I tried to be good to him.
Well I can't. Not anymore.
I will not allow him or
his daughter in this house.
I will not allow you to spend
time with her doing projects
or whatever it is
that you do, that's it!
I hope we are clear on that.
We're not 'clear'.
What did you say?
- We are not in place...
We're not clear!
You and I are not clear about anything!
We couldn't be less clear!
- Joseph...
Just because mum die doesn't mean
that you know anything about me.
You don't!
You don't know anything
about Alice either.
She's kind...
- We are not going to have this discussion...
She's nice to me!
- I don't care what she is!
Her father is an irresponsible
selfish son of a b*tch!
You listen to me.
I've got 12 thousand people in this
town who are scared out of their mind.
And they got one person to rely on.
It used to be someone
else but now it's just me.
Here we go.
- Lights on.
Deputy, drop your weapons.
Put your hands on the car.
I'm here to see the Colonel Nelec.
He told me to meet him here.
You're on military
arrest, drop your weapons!
Where Nelec?
I don't want any more trouble, do you?
We've been going
through your belongings.
Looking for evidence.
What he knew? How you knew it?
Who else might know?
I remember you on the lab.
And I recall we didn't
always see eye-to-eye,
but that is no excuse for
doing what you did here.
So in the spirit of moving forward,
and avoiding more trouble.
Why don't you just tell me
where you put your research
and who else knows about it?
I know you had someone
document the crash that night.
Tell me who that was and I'll help you.
I swear to God on my mother's life,
if you help us now, we
will take care of you.
I've seen what happens, Mr. Nelec.
When you take care of people.
- It is mine. He is mine!
I'm going to beat him and catch him.
He is in me, you know.
As I am in him.
So...
when you see him next,
as I'm sure you will,
I'll be watching you too.
Are you... were you sleeping?
Before... earlier... no.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
You want to come in?
- Yes.
Power still out.
The room is still messy.
I couldn't sleep.
I was thinking...
I want to tell you
something before tomorrow.
Don't let Charles blow up your train.
I don't think it is right.
I know he is your friend.
He's so bossy.
I have known him since kindergarten.
He's really nice.
You should know he gets what he wants.
I mean, who always get what they want?
I know I don't know you at all.
Even though, I try to feel like I do.
Do you not... feel like that?
No, I totally do.
I'm just kind of...
in shock at this entire conversation.
Power is back.
No, no, keep it.
It's... it's so weird.
Watching her like this.
as if she's still here.
She used to look at me
this way.
Like really look.
And I just knew I was there.
Like I existed.
He drank that morning.
...my dad.
He missed his shift.
Your mother took it for him.
the day of the accident.
He...
he wishes...
I know he wishes it
was him instead of her.
Sometimes I do too.
Don't say that.
He's your father.
Is this normal?
No, this is new.
Want to tell me where you were?
Or should I tell you?
Sit down.
I should go to bed.
I want to talk with
you, I said sit down.
I don't want to sit down.
Bingo!
Be just like your mother and leave.
Dad.
Ahead, go!
Go!
Alice!
Wait!
Ally, I'm sorry!
Alice!
Alice!
Ally!
Ally!
Fire alight at 0500 hours. / i
Operation "Walking Distance" is in effect. / i
T - minus 4 hours to evacuation. / i
Why are you not reacting?
That thing went through my wall!
I told you not to pick
it up in the first place.
What are you so angry about?
That I'm not going to
let you blow up my train?
That's part of it!
Just a part!
Hey, to tell your sister that Donnie
from Allson's broke up with Karen.
That should end about a week ago.
What's your problem?
My whole movie is a
disaster because of you.
I know my dad is a turkey.
Whatever!
We're still going to finish your movie!
- It is not about the movie!
What are you talking
about? Of course it is!
Just forget it!
Why?
- There's nothing wrong!
I can get the camera back.
I know where my dad put it.
We can still make it to the festival.
It's not about the movie.
Then what is it about?
You don't get it, do you?
It's obvious!
What's obvious?
- God, you're a dumb ass!
The night of the crash, you
started getting all weird.
What are you talking about?
- Like Mr. Attitude all of a sudden.
Your movie was over.
That's what you said.
You were upset!
- Oh my God.
I gave you my camera. I helped you!
Don't pretend like you did this for me!
You didn't do this for
me, and you know it!
This was never about me.
This was always about Alice!
Well, you were the one who
wanted the wife in the movie.
Not so you could fall in love with her.
What do you care what I
think about Alice any way?
'Cause I like her!
That's why I asked her to do
this thing in the first place.
So that I could get
to know her, not you!
You like Alice Dainard?
You are such an idiot!
Sh*t!
All that smoke.
We can't use this.
You won't even let
me blow up your train.
This thing is bogus.
We could make another train blow up.
I do like her.
Sorry about that.
- Shut up!
It's okay.
It doesn't even bother me.
She likes you too.
That's what really bothers me.
I know it sounds stupid.
Why would she ever like me?
I haven't lean out yet.
Doctor says it's going to happen.
I don't know, everything
is just so bogus.
Charles...
Joe, what the hell?
What is that?
Mr. Harkin, what's going on?
Evacuation! The fire!
"... being evacuated due to a wild fire
that is raging out of control, / i
and threatening to reach the
Lillian Chemical plant. "/ i
Please take your essential items only.
If you drive your vehicle, follow
the caravan to the evacuation center.
Please remain calm.
Sir, the town is sealed off.
No one is allowed in.
Charles!
Excuse me.
Charles, thank God
I went back to the
house but you were gone.
